GPI Flomec® A1 Series 1 in. Nylon Commercial Grade Meter, Turbine Type

FLOMEC® A1 Series turbine meter with Q9 display is designed as self-contained, battery powered unit. Designed for water or non-aggressive chemical applications, this meter features a nylon hosing and rotor. Select the A1 Nylon meter when you need an accurate meter for water or non-aggressive chemical applications. Intrinsically safe for use in hazardous areas.

Note: If the meter includes any module(4-20mA or Pulse Out) that introduces external power, then all intrinsic safety approvals are voided
